As adults, we spend so much time trying to manage our everyday life the we forgot sometimes to spend quality time with the family.

And don’t get me wrong, I know work is important but, I adore to come home and see the happy face of my daughter waiting for me, specially when is family night. Oh my, let me tell you, it is just fun and crazy, and this time we had the opportunity to create and watch The Boxtrolls DVD. This is just the perfect movie to be creative and enjoy as a family, and not only that we learned so many values, like being together as a family, support each other, I talk to my girls about the importance some people  have over material things and being good or bad is related to who you are and the choices you make. This is a wonderful movie.

I love how the different flavors combine give this dish the perfect bite and it is of course just what you need when making easy food for game day. A little bit goes a long way and because am using top quality Farmland® bacon it is the perfect compliment to my corn bread.

This corn bread is a classic dessert in my house, and so easy to make, I know I said dessert but if you see the list of ingredients below, you will notice the most of them are sweet, so what a great way to make this a different option to watch a game?
